Ian and the Zodiacs were an English Merseybeat/R&B band formed in 1958, originally known as The Zodiacs, in Liverpool, England. Led by Ian Edwards (13 October 1943 in Liverpool –22 October 2007), the band existed in relative obscurity until relocating to Germany in 1964 where they achieved national success. During the band's three-year stint in Germany, they released three albums under their name, exclusive to the country until their re-release. They also released two cover albums featuring material by The Beatles with the name, The Koppykats.[1]
